[CP2K-user] [CP2K:21380] Smearing problems and insufficient orbitals in optimization.

I am currently attempting to run a cell optimization for a Ni based system, 
and have used 0.1 smearing and added_mos = -1 but it says insufficient MOs, 
and I have tried multiple values of MOs manually. Can someone help me in 
this regard, thanks in advance.  I have also attached the input file.
